Fodor's Expert Review Tswalu Tarkuni Lodge

In a private section of Tswalu, this exclusive, self-contained homestead—decorated similarly to the reserve's Motse lodge and offering much the same level of luxury—is perfect for families and other small groups since it sleeps up to 10 people in 5 suites and comes with its own chef, game vehicle, and tracker. The food is almost as memorable as the scenery, and every meal is served in a different location: on a lantern-lighted dune or alongside a crackling fire in the lodge's boma. There's opportunity here for one couple to relinquish their beautiful quarters for a night and sleep under the stars, either on the Molori star bed (where two children can also join), or at Naledi, an even more back-to-nature star bed experience in the mountains.
